Moana was the most streamed movie of 2023, and has been in the top 10 list for a few years, so it makes sense that Disney would want to capitalize on this.

I think my daughter makes up most of those streams.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure I'm at least a third of them.

I had a look at the table, I'm surprised that Frozen isn't closer to Moana, but I guess it's due to its age? Kids who grew up with this are now a bit older, and the younger prefer Moana?

For Moana, the story is good, but the film is MUCH brighter overall and I'm sure that's why kids like it more. Both Frozen movies have a handful of scenes with the sun out.

As a parent, my child prefers Encanto this month, but it could change. She watched frozen a ton and Moana as well, but it seems they are both not too popular in her mind right now.

I might be looking forward to Moana 2 more than my daughter will once I tell her it's coming.

I hope Dwayne Johnson gets another song.

Frozen was really good i am dissapointed it's not on the top though frozen 2 sucked . Wonder if moana will go in the same direction.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Okay, okay, I see what's happening here they’re face to face with more money.

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

It's nice to know that humans never change!

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Does this mean their planned live-action version is canceled?

After a string of theatrical failures with (mostly) new animated film IPs...

  • Wish
  • Onward
  • Lightyear
  • Turning Red
  • Strange World
  • Luca
  • Soul
  • Elemental

Disney/Pixar are doubling down on a new sequel era as franchise fatigue continues to malign box office aspirations across the industry...

  • Moana 2
  • Frozen 3
  • Inside Out 2
  • Toy Story 5
  • Zootopia 2

Will it work out for them? I give it a 50/50 chance, which isn't nearly as strong as it needs to be.
